Sensing that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) will win the Democratic presidential nomination, Republican Party operatives are stepping up their political attacks on the former first lady but are wary of going too far with their criticisms because she is a woman.
“You can’t go after a woman candidate the way you can go after a guy,” said Paul Weyrich, chairman and CEO of the Free Congress Foundation and an influential conservative leader. “It’s very, very difficult to campaign against a woman candidate.”
Weyrich said that fact, combined with what he described as Clinton’s willingness to “stop at nothing to win,” makes her the favorite to win the White House.
“That’s why I think she will be elected president,” he said.
Bullshit. You want to be President, you'd better be ready to roll with the punches like any other candidate has to, and if you lighten up on Hillary, you're just giving her breathing room.
What kind of attacks do you think she'll get from other world leaders? Do you think they'll ease up simply because she's a woman? (I assume she's a woman, I haven't done a plumbing check). Of course not, so if they won't, why should the Republican party?
